About Me

I have been passionate about reading and writing since I was a child. My love of storytelling led me to publishing, where I have the privilege of helping authors find their voice and convey their unique ideas to readers.

Before becoming a freelance writer and editor, I was a senior editor at Clarkson Potter, the illustrated lifestyle books imprint of Penguin Random House, where I focused for ten years on House & Home, Cookbooks, Gardening, Weddings, Personal Style, and Gift books and paper products.

I began my publishing career at ReganBooks/HarperCollins, where I edited a wide range of bestselling nonfiction and fiction authors, including Neil Strauss, Jenna Jameson, Dave Navarro, Todd Oldham, Bernie Mac, Amber Frey, and Wally Lamb.

Previously, I spent a year studying French literature at the Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris after graduating from Princeton University with a degree in Comparative Literature and Creative Writing. While there, I was awarded the Creative Writing Sophomore Award, which was selected by my poetry professors including Paul Muldoon, C.K. Williams, and James Richardson.

My first published work was my third-grade short story “Baby Cow’s Adventure.”
